Other family members included his mother, Ann Hathaway, 40; his father, David Hathaway, 39, coal miner; Elizabeth Hathaway, 18, hawker; Harriet Hathaway, 9; and Esther Hathaway, 12. (Submitters note: More than likely Joseph was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Hathaway. It was unusual for a woman of 40 to have a child of 12 months of age--though not impossible.)

On March 22, 1915, Joseph Hathaway enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces (Service Number: 111218; Age: 26; Force: Army; Unit: 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles (2nd Central Ontario Regt.). He declared that he was born in Millville, New Brunswick; that his next of kin was Allan Sharp, who resided at Millville, New Brunswick; that his date of birth was November 20, 1892; that he was not married; and that he was a fireman.
